Quick! Name a color, a flower and a vegetable. Write down the first things that comes to mind. Don't read other people's responses first... just write down the VERY FIRST color, flower and vegetable that come to mind.

Ready?

Set?

Go!

(I'll explain what it "means" after I get some responses)

By the way, tomatoes are a fruit, not a vegetable.
Just in case someone doesn't know.


Well, carrots are roots and not technically a vegetable as well, so if we want to get all snooty we can all join in...lol!

And squash are fruit, and yams (sweet potatoes) are roots, and potatoes are . . . tubers . . . something else entirely.

Let's see, for the anal, who put an actual vegetable?

Green beans. That's the only technical, in the true-sense-of-the-word vegetable.

so there. I can call my tomato a vegetable if everyone else can call theirs vegetables.

And at least I've got a Supreme Court ruling backing me up, unlike the rest of you.

Oh dear lord. They're all vegetables for the sake of psychology! Stop getting snarky on my thread!

(I love you all. I truly do. Please read the above with a voice filled with laughter. But at the same time, stop getting snarky on my thread.)

This is borrowed from Wikipedia: I hope this will quell the arguments....

Fruit, Vegetable

Since “vegetable” is not a botanical term, there is no contradiction in referring to a plant part as a fruit while also being considered a vegetable (see diagram below). Given this general rule of thumb, vegetables can include leaves (lettuce), stems (asparagus), roots (carrots), flowers (broccoli), bulbs (garlic), seeds (peas and beans) and botanical fruits such as cucumbers, squash, pumpkins, and capsicums. Botanically, fruits are reproductive organs (ripened ovaries containing one or many seeds), while vegetables are vegetative organs which sustain the plant.

So what are the psychological implications of someone who comes on a thread like this to inform the other participants that their choices are wrong?


It probably means they were potty trained too young.

I'm going to give this thread a little while longer... see if any more people reply... and then I'll explain what's going on.

I'm insulted by the insinuation

Oh I'm sorry sugar elf!  I thought that maybe it could be since most bloggers will just post the test first and let one take it!

No insult intended!

,  everytime I hear the word "snooty"  I think of that movie "Ferris Buehler's Day Off" whre he's in the fancy restaurant and he says "snooty?  are you accusing me of being snooty?"
